A solvable case of the set-partitioning problem
Alignment of sequences is widely used for biological sequence comparisons, and only biological events like mutations, insertions and deletions are considered. Other biological events like inversions are not automatically detected by the usual alignment algorithms, thus some alternative approaches have been tried in order to include inversions or other kinds of rearrangements. Despite many important results in the last decade, the complexity of the problem of alignment with inversions is still unknown....

The imbalance of an edge in a graph is defined as , where is the vertex degree. The irregularity of is then defined as the sum of imbalances over all edges of . This concept was introduced by Albertson who proved that (where ) and obtained stronger bounds for bipartite and triangle-free graphs. Since then a number of additional bounds were given by various authors. In this paper we prove a new upper bound, which improves a bound found by Zhou and Luo in 2008. Our bound involves the...
We present a random automorphism-invariant subgraph of a Cayley graph such that with probability 1 its exponential growth rate does not exist.
It is consistent that there exists a graph X of cardinality such that every graph has an edge coloring with colors in which the induced copies of X (if there are any) are totally multicolored (get all possible colors).
